Sprinkler System Design
Course
Code
EA18
Commitment: 2 Days Seminar | 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Description
Course Outline:
For most fires, water represents the ideal extinguishing agent.
Fire sprinklers utilize water by direct application onto flames
and heat, which causes cooling of the combustion process
and prevents ignition of adjacent combustibles.
They are most effective during the fire's initial flame growth
stage, while the fire is relatively easy to control.
A properly selected sprinkler will detect the fire's heat, initiate
alarm, and begin suppression within moments after flames
appear. In most instances sprinklers will control fire
advancement within a few minutes of their activation.
The sprinkler system is usually installed where required
by NFPA 101 and is designed to meet the requirements
contained in NFPA 13 Standard For The Installation Of
Sprinkler Systems.
■ Fundamentals and definitions
■ Definition of the Hazards
■ Definition of the level of protection required to protect each hazard
■ Evaluation of the water supply
■ Selection of the appropirate system type and materials

those people who are notified.
The secondary purpose is to initiate fire safety functions,
which are building and fire control functions that are intended
to increase the level of safety for occupants or to control
the spread of the harmful effects of fire.

Description
Globalization has allowed for business trade to embark into
new territories with new product offerings and innovative
applications, especially within the construction industry.
Hence, products that are placed in the market should
comply with the relevant applicable legislations and
producers should be responsible for the compliance of
product in relation to their roles in the supply chain, so as
to ensure a high level of protection of consumers and of the
environment, while guaranteeing fair competition.
■■ Construction product regulation
■■ Changes to the directive
■■ Identify the basic requirements and the applicable
essential characteristics
■■ The establishment of factory production control
■■ The declaration of performance (DoP)
The CE mark, or formerly EC mark, is a mandatory
conformity marking for certain products sold within the
European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985. The CE marking
